MAX3485ECSA

The MAX3485ECSA is an integrated circuit (IC) component that functions as a low-power transceiver for RS-485/RS-422 communication networks. It is specifically designed to provide robust data transmission in harsh industrial and automotive environments. With its high common-mode voltage range and ±15kV ESD protection, it ensures reliable and safe data transfer in noise-prone scenarios. Here are the key features of the MAX3485ECSA: 1. Half-duplex RS-485/RS-422 transceiver: It can be configured to operate in either RS-485 or RS-422 mode, allowing for flexible use in various communication systems. 2. Wide supply voltage range: This IC component supports a supply voltage range from 3.0V to 5.5V, enabling compatibility with different power sources. 3. High data rates: The MAX3485ECSA supports data rates up to 250kbps, making it suitable for high-speed communication applications. 4. Low quiescent current: With a typical quiescent current of 300µA, this IC minimizes power consumption and enhances energy efficiency, ideal for battery-powered devices. 5. Integrated fail-safe receiver: The integrated receiver includes a fail-safe feature that maintains a high output state when inputs are left floating, ensuring proper data detection in idle bus conditions
